Herengracht 502, Amsterdam, Official mayoral residence on Herengracht Canal, Netherlands

The mansion at Herengracht 502 features a grand entrance with marble columns and neoclassical elements added during the 1791 renovation by Abraham van der Hart.

Built in 1672 for Dutch West India Company merchant Paulus Godin, this canal house became the official residence of Amsterdam mayors in 1926.

The main floor contains preserved 18th and 19th-century interiors that reflect the international influences and status of past inhabitants.

The residence serves both as living quarters and as a reception venue where the mayor of Amsterdam conducts official city functions.

Ten mayors have resided in this canal house, from Willem de Vlugt to Eberhard van der Laan, maintaining its role in city governance.
